Weekend Camping

Good Morning.  This weekend was a great weekend.  The Family went camping Saturday afternoon through Sunday.

We pretty much totally relaxed, and enjoyed a book or two.  Took a few rides on the golf cart, started a fire, etc.

This weekend, Kathy found a recipe from Rachel Ray for some awesome burgers, and thought she’d try them.  Using the Rome Hamburger press from www.pieironusa.com and from www.pudgypies.com she made some hamburgers with the pie irons with the slots in them.  Very cool.  A pie iron with slots, what an idea.  We grilled the burgers and the grease simply went through the slots. 

She also cook some veggies the same way.  

 

What a was to use pie irons.

Here is a photo of the slotted pie iron. 

This one come from www.sandwichcooker.com but you can

Cooking at camp

Well it’s Saturday morning and we’re not camping.  We decided to take a weekend and get some work done around the home, and for me to put an extra day at work.

This Sunday we plan to go to the camper at the campground and swim, along with that we plan to roast some hot dogs with our new hot dog roasting camping forks from www.campingforks.com these new forks are awesome.  The come in 2 pieces and screw together to make a giant roasting fork.  Kathy also picked up some roasting forks from www.marshmallowforks.com so we can roast some marshmallows on Sunday evening.  The kids can’t wait to go.

Here are some photos of the forks that we got.

 

 

Well that’s it for now, go camping use a camping marshmallow fork or a pie iron to cook with…

Thanks,

Mike Franks

Another Day Camping

Last weekend was great.  I took the Wife and Kids camping.

I know, I know..  We go camping nearly every weekend, but what made this weekend special.  Well, one thing.  It was a family affair.

I mean, I had it made, I had my wife, and my kids all at the same spot at the same time.  That was nice…

Yeah, it might not have been all weekend, but it was good.

My wife this weekend while camping thought she’d try something different in cooking this weekend, she made kabobs with skewers from campingfunshop.com.  They worked out really well.  She had potatos, sausage, garlic, peppers, onion, hhmm.  good…

We also made pudgy pies using these cast iron pie irons from a site she ran across the other day PieIronUSA.com and PudgyPies.com both of the sites had awesome camping cooking gear and it doesn’t hurt any that i run them..  But we enjoyed making the sandwiches and pies with the pie irons.  They were simple and easy to use and easy cleanup.  We used a round pudgy and the square sandwich ones.

 

Later that evening, had enjoyed some marshmallows using marshmallow forks that she had found on MarshmallowForks.com and i think another site CampingForks.com where that both have a ton of camping forks for marshmallows, hot dogs, bratwurst, you name it.  The next day my Daughter and I cooked some of the sausage from the kabobs with the roasting forks and cooked them…  i’m telling you they tasted good..

 

Well, more later..  Have a great weekend, and go camping.

Roasting toasting and Marshmallow fork Review

today I’m going to review a unique item that our family uses on a weekly basis. 

It’s called the bread stick.  it’s not quite a roasting toasting or a marshmallow fork, but i had to tell you about it.

I saw it on www.campingforks.com and others site.

above is a photo of it.

We usually take a can of store bought biscuits and lightly wrap around the end.  Usually within just a minute or two you have a baked biscuit.

Our family puts butter, peanut butter, apple butter or jelly in them.

Many folks have written of all kinds of recipes for these.

 

you can find this and other roasting toasting and marshmallow forks at the following online retailers:

Pie Iron Sandwich Cooker Vol VII

Good Day.  Today we’re going to show you a cool little product.

the Pudgy pie iron.  The round usually cast iron pudgy pie used to cook foods over an open fire or even on your gas stove. 

Round Pudgy Pie Iron – Cast Iron
As much as people love the traditional square
design, there is a vocal crowd of passion for
our round Pie Iron. It’s all in the way the
cooker seals the food. Locking in flavors
whether it’s a hamburger, quick bread or
dessert. With a sandwich, the round design
crimps the corners of the bread to form a
firm seal (similar to ravioli.)

4 ¼” dia. Head; 28″ overall length.
Weight: 2.5 lbs

Here is an image of one

Pie Irons and More Vol VI

Open fire Cooking Gear Reviews

Today we’re going to review the wilderness burger cooker manufactured by Rome Industries.

The wilderness cooker is similar in shape and size as the pudgy pie iron sold everywhere.  But with one big difference.  The wilderness burger cooker has slots on both sides to allow the burger to get grilled.  Very cool, I’ve got to tell you.

you simply make a burger, place in the gadget and cook it over a fire.  Be careful not to get ashes on your burger though.  You can make one burger for one person, or pass the wilderness cooker around and everyone can cook there own burger.  No need to setup the big grill, or a skillet.  Just use the wilderness burger cooker.

 

We’ve found these at several retailers, including these.

www.Sandwichcooker.com

www.PieIronUSA.com

www.PudgyPies.com

www.FirePies.com

and others.

Pie Iron or Pudgy Pie Irons

Good day, today we’re going to review a cool little camping gadget.  The Pie Iron or some folks say the pudgy pie.

I guess these would be considered 2 different items. 1 is the pie iron and 1 is the pudgy pie.  The “Pie Iron” is a square sandwich cooker great for grilled cheese sandwiches, and the pudgy pie is more for pies such as filling pies.  But could be used for each others purposes..

Here are a couple images of each.

 

these can be purchased at the following retailers.
